whynow Gaming: powered by Wireframe Further thoughts about the new Xbox: - Hurts third-party retailers - Console manufacturers don't pass the savings on manufacturing and smaller carbon footprint on to consumers - I've lost access to my MS account for 30d+ repeatedly due to aggressive security; no Xbox or OneDrive

Hogs of War Lardcore I'm the biggest Hogs of War fan in the world, and I'm beyond excited about this—but I think targeting just PS4 and PS5 is going to massively hurt the chances of getting this successfully funded, which is honestly painful. 🐖🐷
